-Mj (intransitive); -c, -I (transitive) and 

 Icf — ejilc

 as a noun in absolute form.

transitive verb, see p. 826)

The second form expresses an action done at the same time with 



the one expressed b}^ the predicate of the sentence. It is derived 



from the le!- prefix of the corresponding form of the noun, and the 



sufhx of the possessive.
